An unexpected poem

I’m lying on my bed about to pick up a book I’m reading currently when a line comes to me. I pick up my phone and write that line down so I can work on it later. Then more lines start coming to me so I keep on writing them down. Before I know it I’ve got a new poem. I will have to edit it a bit but at least a new poem exists.
I love it when a poem or lyrics come to me unexpectedly. No need for prompts or sitting there trying to figure out what to write about. No staring at an empty page. Words just flow out of me…

Your creative juices flow
Your mind is fast
Not slow

Yes. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up.

@Ineeddentures That’s probably true.

Especially as one gets older.
The mind is slower.
Or at least that's what I have found

I’m gonna publish it on my blog. Don’t think I can share the link here.

I don’t write as much as I used to but I’ve got a lot of poems under my belt.

I get as lot of inspiration for my poem through things I see or hear online and through my favorite music,
